you are here: Homepage →  MAX TAOS OS→  Taos-Versions-2

Like mentioned before, it is not easy, to find the right TAOS version from all the hundreds of images found on the ascend server.

This text-file is the last version, internally published from Ascend not for the public.

Before you get started: DATE: 2-Feb-1999

To identify your current software load

======================================

 

- Obtain access to your MAX unit and make sure you are in "Full Access".

- Make sure the terminal server is enabled under:

 

Ethernet->Mod Config->Tserv Options->TS Enabled=Yes.

- In the System menu, select Sys Diag, followed by Term Serv.

- Under Terminal Server mode, the command "show revision" (ver 5.0 and up)

 

will show you the correct file name you need to download.

 

example:

ascend% show revision

ascend% system revision: tik.m40 6.0.0

 

- If the identical filename cannot be found in the ftp site, refer to the feature map below to identify the binary file that you need.

 

File name convention

====================

- For software 4.6Cp22 and above, filenames are arranged in the format shown below:

<file type><interface><feature codes>.<platform extension>

 

example:

rtbik.m40

<r> - restricted load (* see version 6.0.0 note below)

<tb> - support for T1 and BRI interface

<ik> - support for OSPF and 56k modem

<m40>- binary load for the MAX 4000 series platform

 

- Definitions of all the file, interface, and features types are listed on later sections.

* For users upgrading to version 6.0.0 or above

===============================================

- Some MAX units below version 6.0.0 might need to upgrade incrementally.

- Some builds contain a restricted load and an extended load.

- Upload the restricted load first, reset, then upload the extended load.

- For more information, refer to Upgrade-Instructions.txt.

- All subsequent upgrades from version 6.0.0 or above only require an extended load without the need of a restricted load.

 

File Types (for version 6.0.0 or above)

=======================================

f Extended (full) Load - Complete version of code for production environments.

r Restricted Load - Bare minimum code, only used between upgrades to 6.0.0 or

higher.

 

MAX Platform Extensions

=======================

m60 Max 6000 Series

m40 Max 4000 Series

m16 Max 1600 (MAX Classic)

m18 Max 1800

m20 Max 2000 Series

m8 Max 800

m2 Max 200 Plus

 

Network Interfaces

==================

t T1

e E1

b ISDN BRI

================================================

For us in Germany this means, the most simple Version for a MAX 4000 is "fei.m40", which has E1 and IP only, nothing else. (and for the US it is fti.m40)

 

* There are no ARA specific feature codes.

** Only applies to 5.0 series (or below) E1 loads. On 6.0.0 or above, R2 outdial is allowed on all applicable E1 loads.
